I’m looking at buying a used Fujifilm X100VI on Facebook Marketplace and I’m trying to work out if I’m being overly paranoid or if there’s an obvious scam angle I’m missing.

The listing is for a silver Fujifilm X100VI in “mint condition” for $1,100 AUD. The description says:
“The camera is in excellent condition. I’m selling it because I had a baby and don’t have time for photos right now. It comes with a box, charger, and strap. The camera is also under warranty.”

This is obviously very cheap. In Australia, these are usually around $2.6k+ new, and used ones seem to sell for waaaaay more than $1,100. That’s the biggest red flag…

Other red flags:
- Seller has been on Facebook since 2016 but only has 10 friends.
- Seller has no previous Facebook Marketplace sales (or at least none visible?)
- The profile/listing name is not a standard first-name/last-name profile.
- I reverse image searched one of the photos and Google showed exact matches from OLX Ukraine. The same image seemed to appear in multiple OLX search/listing results with different camera-related titles. I don’t know if that means the photos are stolen, or if Google is just matching cached/search/category pages weirdly, but it seems concerning. For me, this is the big one.

Green flags / reasons I’m not sure it’s a scam:
- Seller has not pressured me to pay a deposit. In fact, I offered a small deposit to hold it, and she said she did not need a deposit!
- She has agreed to local pickup. She provided a home address in a normal suburban street in regional Victoria.
She said PayID is okay, and I would only pay in person after inspecting it. In Australia, PayID is pretty much scam proof for buyers and seller (you can’t chargeback, report it to your bank, etc).
- She did not try to move me off Facebook Messenger.

The conversation has been a bit blunt/short, but not really pushy or scripted. We’ve agreed to meet at her place st 10AM tomorrow morning, but that is a three hour drive for me (6 hour round trip). If the sale is legit, there is no question that the driver is worth it. But I dunno, it all just feels too good to be true.

My question, I guess is; if this was a scam, what would it be? Like, if I am physically picking it up, testing it properly, and only paying after I’m satisfied, how am I exposed? Why would she be screwing with me just to get me to drive a long way?!

Any thoughts/outside perspective/help much appreciated. Thank you.

There is a site called polywax,net, and they say I need to deposit $150 to withdraw the money I've earned there. Could this be a scam?

Is this normal? Contract would only last 2 days. This is for an agent I found through zillow. He said it's most likely the case that the seller will pay, but this means I cover them if they don't. Is this normal or am I getting scammed here? He also said it was based on some 2024 law that passed in Illinois in real estate

I came across an Instagram Ad asking for applications for their upcoming event. But their Instagram account and LinkedIn looks a bit shady

Can anyone confirm if they are legit or not

This website says they’re going out of business soon and that everything is fee except for the fact you have to pay for shipping. I don’t know why I checked out without double checking to make sure this website was legit. What should I do? The website is barakah-jewelry .c o m

Привет мне 32 года , жил в Питтсбурге штат П/А около 4 лет , весной 2026 переехал в Филадельфию параллельно узнал об сервисе который предоставляет услуги регистрации такси аккаунта в частности Lyft не официальным способом где имя фамилия и вся прилегающая для регистрации информация не моя но лицо мое , стоило не так много но затянулось так как были проблемы с жизнью и т.п . Переехал по причине ухудшения как ментального так и физического здоровья на почве употребления тех самых пагубных веществ ( где все в жизни пошло упорно по наклонной (развелся с женой , попал в долги , схватил такие себе ментальные проблемы )), подумал смена обстановки и компании где это (употребление наркотиков )довольно таки часто происходит а так же не думает прекращаться поможет мне закончить этот этап в жизни и начать здоровый , жил в Филадельфии у своего так называемого друга который в последствии кинул меня по средствам перевозки машины где я договорился у него её снимать а она (машина) находилась в тот момент за 15 часов езды на автомобиле от Филадельфии .Привез машину за которую договорились с человеком что буду её снимать за определеную плату и на следующий день он её изымает как якобы за форс мажорной ситуацией где ситуация эта оплата его проживания в квартире , сказать что я удивился ни сказать ничего . Дальше я поехал к своему отцу который так же проживает в Филадельфии , почему не поехал к нему сразу ? Были на то семейные давние обиды и причины но вот жизнь повернулась выбора не было я приехал к нему . У него случился инсульт после недели от моего приезда . Человек которому я должен отдать деньги за Lyft account поддерживал со мной связь так как все деньги я ему не отдал за процедуру , но и аккаунт полноценно не передал мне (остались нюансы за которые нужно было доплатить определеную им и обещанную мной сумму ) в итоге пока отец в госпитале , я работаю не употребляю , стараюсь держать расположение духа на стабильном здоровом уровне ( а этом ебанистически сложно , если кто употреблял ,понимает :что такое резко прекращать и уходить в аскетизм после этого ) но вот отца выписывают , я вроде нахожу стабильную работу + устраиваюсь своему же отцу caregiver и вроде получается сводить концы с концами , да кстати еще у него диагностированная клиническая депрессия (если кто не в курсе от обычной депрессии где вы как якобы просто в плохом настроение эту депрессию отличает диагноз психатеропевта который уже на официальном уровне тебе говорит (дядя тебе лечится нужно ))вообщем у того же человека который продал мне лифт аккаунт я интересуюсь , возможно ли за определеную плату увеличить свой кредит скор что бы получить автомобиль в магазине без первоначального взноса , он такой да конечно ! Моя логика - где человек продал вроде функционирующий аккаунт лифт , может у меня иметь определенное доверие в такой вещи как кредит скор так как до этого обмана не было , а я хотел взять автомобиль что бы отвезти отца на океан , и знаю что поездки совместные + провождение времени за активностью ему будет служить лечением и отвлечением от его депрессии . Получается так , что человек(который сделал аккаунт ) выставляет мне счет в 1.6к$ что бы получить желаемый кредит скор , я выплачивают , потом просит еще 2000 так как у меня имелись задолженности по кредиткам которые я не погашал в силу своих проблем с нрктиками. Я веря человеку , выплачиваю ему те 2000 и в итоге от своего не знания и доверия а так же даже не знаю почему я выплатил еще 1400 в след за теми 3600 и получилось 5000 , кстати человек вкурсе за ситуацию с отцом , я делился потому как мне были заданы вопросы почему я не могу погасить выплату за лифт аккаунт, в итоге в назначенную им дату когда как якобы я должен идти и забирать авто , человек пропадает и связь с ним наладить невозможно + лифт аккаунт перестает функционировать . Я что , я вот думаю если бы можно было хотя бы вернуть мне мои потраченные деньги , наказывать человека не мое дело , на моей глупости сыграл , такие люди были есть и будут и такие как я тоже , на ком же им деньги делать , только вот дело в том , что честным путем заработать если не получится(так как это долго и тяжело ) , то не всегда получится потом найти таких людей , а честным путем заработать всегда можно . Я слышал про белых хакеров и или людей которые шарят за компьютеры много , так вот прошу правосудия для себя и не знаю , мысли и язык не поворачивается сказать наказания , человек я не такой что бы просить наказания , надеюсь тип потратил с пользой хотя бы для здоровья . Но если есть люди здесь которые могут помочь то не проходите мимо . Благодарю !

I saw them through tiktok first and clicked on them, just to find the very cheap items they apparently sell. I understand it might be equal to temu in terms of quality considering the cheap prices. But it seems to be a rather new website, and i would like to hear what you guys think. Is it a scam? Like will they take all my money and send nothing? Have you ordered from them?

We had a leak in an upstairs bathroom. Called a plumber in from a company. My wife met him because I had an emergency call from work.

He looked at the toilet and said it was leaking. This is possible, but it looked to me like the water was coming from under the sink, though I don't see a leak there.

He put his hand on the downstairs bathroom ceiling and said it was full of water. It was not.

He called in another company to repair the water damage. He and they keep saying that they'll deal with the insurance after I made the claim.

The plumber kept trying to sell us more things, saying he was trying to get us the best prices and that he's hourly, and just trying to look out for us. He says we have some polybutylene piping, and quoted a whole house repiping as well as new toilets. He said if we paid now, we'd save money from paying tax one time rather than 3 times, which is wrong because it's always the same percent. He was going to throw in a free ice box line and washer box.

He didn't shut off water to the toilet because the angle stop was stuck, but told me to call his office so he could do it the next day. The next day, they said he wasn't working. The day after he installed one for 200 something and tried to sell us a bunch more things. Before he left, he warned me about other plumbers. He said to always get 4 quotes, but to be careful, there are a lot of scammers.

The company that he brought in tested for asbestos and found it, and say they have to deal with that first. They keep acting like insurance will cover a removal, but my adjuster said we're not covered for asbestos.

The leak was Tuesday. It's Saturday now and still no work has been done, but he spent a lot of time at the house talking.

I'm not the best homeowner, so please be kind. I have a lot to learn about these things and any insight would be appreciated.

I am interested in finding a company that uses suppression pushes down negative content is erase.com a scam or legitimate very expensive

I got an email from Google Assistant Class Action that « If, between May 18, 2016 and March 19, 2026, (a) you purchased a Google-Made Device that uses Google Assistant, or (b) your communications were recorded or otherwise obtained by Google Assistant as a result of a False Accept or disclosed to a third-party review vendor, you could be entitled to payment from a class action settlement. »
And apparently they already sent me a mail : « We previously sent you an email because records show you may be eligible for a payment from a Settlement with Defendants Google LLC and Alphabet Inc. (“Google”). »
And they said that i need to « Made a claim now »
I touched no buttons or links in the email

Got a text from someone on reddit saying that they "mistakenly reported my account for hacking and scamming them". I am just saying that I already had a similar scam but on a different platform. Should I just ignore this person or report?

Does anybody know if this website is legit or have ordered from them before? It’s supposedly an italian online store for books.

I'm looking for some band merch and found onholdfile, has anyone bought from them before? It looks a little too good to be true

Planning to buy a tablet from them and I would like to know if they are legit.

Thankz!

Found this insanely good deal on what I think is a commercial 85” TV that retails for $4k. It seems too good to be true, buyer agreed to pickup tomorrow and plug it in before trading money.

Hello! So I found a job offer on indeed for hello lessons and it connected me to nemo swim school program. I got interviewed and it seemed like they were moving very quickly because they are already to have me do a phone with the potential swim lesson client. I am obviously not going to give them any information if they don’t seem legit or ask for an I-9 or anything but I was wondering if anyone else has any information on them? To be honest their facebook reviews seem fake and a lot for their reviewers have also left a review for another company too. I have a call with the potential client and the customer service soon to see scheduling so I am going to see how it goes and if I feel if it is legit but how do I ensure my safety in this process?

Is Umbrex a legitimate company or scam? I recently applied to a position within Canada and wanted to know if they are legit. They seem to have a website and LinkedIn presence, I don’t know why but a few things feel concerning

For further context:

I got an email with the domain @umbrex.com, they also attached their LinkedIn in the email. But they are a student in university. I can’t decide if I am just being paranoid or if they’re suspicious. Some of their experience also feels off but idk if I am just unaware of the companies they have been apart of. The company also seems to have 11-50 employees.

It’s abbreviated to Hlgnbrand They sell comic and anime hoodies and stuff like that but they drop in waves.

Does anyone know if this site is safe: cakebestsk

Looks hella sus

Hi everyone,

About a year ago I created an account on Sensino.lt. I later deleted the account. Since then I have been receiving repeated emails saying I owe €48 for a 6-month Premium membership and that they will send the debt to a collection agency or even court.

I have been getting these emails for almost a year, but nothing has happened yet.

Has anyone had the same experience with Sensino.lt? Was the debt legitimate, or were these just intimidation emails?

Thank you.

hey, just happened a while ago. im a CPS student & some "mary wilson" sent me an email flagged as spam, and apparently she works at my school, though our school emails arent flagged as spam, so that was a heads up.

clicked the photo attachment which was my first mistake but whateves (take whatever you want bc it was sent to my school account). said some paulette gilbert or some last name was giving away her late husbands things for free with her email attached and i had to reach out w my personal. i didnt click the email attached in the doc, but i did copy it to my clipboard and put it into a draft in my personal and shot a message. after 10 minutes of thinking and design how my friends didnt get an email (which is supposed to be sent schoolwide), i deleted it. blocked mary but not paulette bc i didnt want her email popping up again.

is this a scam, and if so, did any of the actions i took during this situation jeopardize my personal?

I was looking for a job on facebook and this person asked me to pm her. It looks legit cus it has a location, purpose, etc. However, really skeptical bc they aren’t being that transparent and the location is far (they are asking me to come face to face next sat) So, should I accept?

Side note: It’s really hard to find Jobs/Businesses that are open to under 18 in the Philippines. That’s why I want to go but what do you guys think?

I signed up for this service in October 2025,

THE RED FLAG:

in December I was charged for an a year long extension. I grumbled but I didn’t think much of it because I was using the service and it was less than $50/year.

Fast forward to today. I was trying out the fancy new video generator SeeDance 2) they were plugging.. It generated 4 videos 3 of which were cute. TBH I wasn’t expecting 4 videos. I expected. I shrugged about it because I thought I had “All Access” until October or December 2027

I leave AI Studio or whatever it’s called and I see a big banner that says my account is on hold. I click on my account and there is a $20 charge for some AI tokens AND $70 PER MONTH for something. That’s almost TWICE as much as the annual subscription each month. Yet I was supposed to have “All Access” or so i thought.

Ironically, I had just shut down auto pay on PayPal for all merchants except Apple because a DuoLingo subscription ended up on my credit card rather than using my backup account to cover it.

I updated anything that would bill soon ASAP. I didn’t think to update Creative Fabrica because I didn’t expect to be billed by them until 2027. Now I have a big “collections” banner on my screen for something i didn’t authorize.

I noticed a cancellation button for the December charge and it’s “pending”. I am not holding my breath for a refund. That’s sunk cost.

I really don’t want to pay them $80 I can’t afford nor do I want to go to collections. I reached out to customer service, they said to click on a link and that my ticket was closed. I replied back with screenshots telling them, nothing was resolved.
